In the Night
by Sophia Liu
When the moon appears,
with the stars shining in the dark dark night.
Soon the city falls asleep.
It is as quiet as could be.
Actually the fairies are playing hide and seek.
But you can’t hear it.
Only the moon and stars can hear the fairies’ ring.
A star joins and disappears in a twinkling.
The fairies fly high and low searching it everywhere.
Finally, they catch a light at the riverside.
It turns out that’s a firefly.
The moon sees everything in the wild.
She can’t help laughing with delight.
It’s a dark yet dazzling night.
It’s a serene yet joyful night.
